Florian Wirtz<\/a> is among those to return to the Liverpool lineup as Arne Slot<\/a> makes five changes for their Champions League<\/a> clash with Eintracht Frankfurt.<\/b><\/p>\n

Slot has again employed rotation for the Champions League<\/a>\u2018s league phase and will be hoping it pays off as Liverpool seek to end a four-game losing streak.<\/p>\n

Giorgi Mamardashvili<\/a><\/b> keeps his place in the ongoing absence of Alisson<\/a>, with Freddie Woodman<\/a> and youngster Kornel Misciur the other goalkeeping options.<\/p>\n

Jeremie Frimpong<\/a><\/b> joins the back four along with Ibrahima Konate<\/a><\/b>, Virgil van Dijk<\/a><\/b> and Andy Robertson<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n

With Ryan Gravenberch<\/a> ruled out Curtis Jones<\/a><\/b> is expected to take up the deeper role in midfield, starting alongside Dominik Szoboszlai<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n

Wirtz<\/b> starts and is likely to join a fluid forward line with Cody Gakpo<\/a><\/b>, Hugo Ekitike<\/a><\/b> and Alexander Isak<\/a><\/b> \u2013 the latter two starting together for the first time.<\/p>\n
